Do Hammocks Rot?

   Hammocks do not rot if properly cared for. Our cotton hammocks are 100% cotton, meaning that the material can deteriorate in certain circumstances (like any other cotton product, like clothing). If cotton gets wet, it is no problem and will not rot if it is dried out promptly and thoroughly within 24 hours, so accidentally leaving it in the rain will not destroy it.

   Remember, that proper care and attention will assure a long life for your hammock.

   Nylon hammocks are highly resistant to moisture-related rot. Nylon hammocks may be left in the outdoors for the entire summer with little danger of rotting. The material dries out very quickly after it has become wet, and is naturally resistant to mold, must and deterioration. The same is for the parachute nylon hammocks as well as the nylon rope hammocks.
